Gradind Systems Are A Crock

The grading systems that most schools use are completly prejadis. The reason is mainly because i've seen so many students that are so bored in class its almost as if the have no motivation to do the work. Let me give you an example, There is a student who religiously goes to class every day he does all the work and is always ahead on the reading. On the other and there is a student that sits in the back he doesn't do the reading and hardley ever does the work. The first student manages to pull out an A- out of the class mom and dad are thrilled, however the second student manages to pull out a D. Everyones first assumption is that well, " The first ones ah Nerd and, the second ones a retard." Well then everyones wrong that first student actually has something that the second one doesn't, motivation. Motivation is the nessasary tool to becoming a succesful student, for all we know the second student could be a genius who is so demotivated by the repetative almost malignent work in the class that he feel like he should just shoot himself. I am that demotivated student and i feel like i can't ever focus on subject long enough to care about it. I am one of what i hope is millions of people who lack motivation, i mean no one wants to be the only wierdo right? I need motivation but i'm not going to take medicine, the whole problem no adays is that people don't deal with there emotions any more, and theres a pill for everything. So in the mean time I'll keep trying to find something that works.
